the interface or prompt displayed by the interactive application. Once these changes are made, the operating system displays the
Interactive services dialog detection dialog box to provide access to the interactive application interface or prompt. After
upgrading Windows Server 2003 x64 to Windows Server 2008 x64 with Server Administrator installed, the application UI does
not display all the expected instrumentation pages. The Server Administrator installation must be repaired. Go to Start →
Settings → Control panel → Add Remove Programs → Select Change on the Server Administrator installation and select the
Repair option to correct the issue.
• DF330800: Server Administrator Web server local user login fails on the Windows 2008 R2 Managed Node. When a Windows
2008 R2 Managed Node is added to a domain, logging in from any Server Administrator Web Server to that Windows 2008 R2
Managed Node will fail with local user or local power-user credentials. Only the credentials of a local Administrator or Domain
user will work, with a prerequisite that all required winrm congurations have been applied.

available for any Network Interface Cards.
Issues of Server Administrator on All Supported Operating Systems
• BITS107804: On PowerEdge R210 II and T110 II servers, clearing the Shutdown OS First check box and performing a reboot
using the ‘Reboot’ option does not reboot the servers. After performing these steps if you refresh the Page, the options on the
Remote Shutdown page are not displayed.
• On Dell PowerEdge T110 II systems, the following Server Administrator BIOS settings are not consistent with the F2 BIOS setup
settings:
– Watchdog timer: Server Administrator displays the option as disabled, but F2 BIOS allows to change the setting.
– Embedded Video Controller: Server Administrator provides options to enable or disable, but in F2 BIOS the option is grayed
out.
– TPM Security: Server Administrator does not allow to change the settings, but F2 BIOS allows to change the settings.
– System Prole State: Server Administrator does not allow to make changes, but F2 BIOS allows to make the changes.
– Memory Testing: Server Administrator does not support this feature, but F2 BIOS supports this feature.
– SRIOV option: Server Administrator does not display this information, but F2 BIOS displays this feature.
• Due to non-availability of resources, inventory collector may terminate unexpectedly and restart. If this occurs, the folder C:
\Temp\invcol may be left as an artifact. The presence of this folder does not aect the functionality of the inventory collection.
The folder can be deleted if required.
• After installing Server Administrator from the command prompt, typing an omreport or mcong command from the same
prompt can cause an error. Open a new command prompt window and type commands.
• If the command log page in the Server Administrator GUI displays an error message indicating that the XML is malformed, you
must clear the command log from the CLI using the omcong system cmdlog action=clear command
• After a Reset to Defaults operation of the Integrated Remote Access Controller, the rst user conguration, operation fails if it is
a single-user conguration item (such as enabling or disabling a user or changing user name). Always change a combination of
two-user conguration items (such as enabling or disabling a user and changing user name) concurrently during your rst
conguration operation.
• While typing the command omreport system version -outc <lename>, ensure that you specify an absolute path name for the
output le; else, the output le is empty. For example, c:\out.txt.
• Typing omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog -fmt tbl command on the CLI can result in XML parsing errors if the size of
the log is large. Use the GUI or the omreport system esmlog/alertlog/cmdlog CLI command to view the contents of the log.
• For complex omcong CLI commands that contain multiple set commands in one command line, the CLI may report a success
status for the command even if a part of the command failed. To avoid this issue, run only one command per command line. The
current settings can be conrmed by performing the corresponding omreport command.
• Some complex omcong CLI commands that contain multiple set operations have been modied to avoid the above problem.
While running a CLI command if the message, Error! Illegal combination of parameters is displayed, modify your command into
several simpler commands. Each command should change only one setting.
• When running Server Administrator on a system with a traditional Chinese operating system, the application pages are displayed
in simplied Chinese. To view the Server Administrator pages in English, go to your browser language preference page and
change the language to English.
• Log les saved from Server Administrator are saved in zip format. It is recommended that you open this zip le using WinZip.
Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP embedded Compressed (zipped) Folder utility is not recommended.
